Flyer (instead of Google, Yahoo, etc) • PowerPoint Presentations done at AAIM and HSTI in 2006 and 2007

  9. Registration • Step 1. Libraries must fill out an online form • Click on New or Update above • The information loads automatically into an Access database on the ASL server. • Registration deadlines are usually 5 weeks apart, with the dates posted on the main Traveler page • Step 2.  On the registration date, the new information is compared and added to the Master Database. • None of the information is retyped, simply loaded into the database.  • Changes or new information are forwarded to the vendor representatives by the Office of Library Network Services.  • Most registrations are processed the next work day by the vendor representative. • Step 3.  An e-mail is sent from ASL to the library contact that is indicated on the registration information.  • If there is a problem with an individual registration, an e-mail is sent directly to that library. • Due to the large membership in Traveler, 99% of all communication is now done by e-mail.  • This saves on the expense of postage as well as time since there is no clerical staff in the Office of Library Network Services.
